Really awkward kick off time.  Anyone know anything about the Warehouse?  Can you buy food there? Is there any decent ale? Can you sit down?  Asking for a friend.

Loads of food options, but no seats or tables. Really awkward space.

Cheers. If only the Bartons hadn't closed. Missing such a key part of the match day routine.

Agreed. Match days aren't the same without a 20 minute queue, then a disgusted look from the bar staff as I ask for 6 pints of Genius.

Two lines of security to get past, just in case someone who isn't going to the match fancies standing in a warehouse for a bit.

...while trying to give the club money for food and drinks.

It didn't help that you used to ask for 6 Genii.

Someone asked me earlier today about getting into the Holte pub before any match. I have no idea on entry rules, so can someone provide any info please?

You were also terribly angry when I said that Bailey should come on against Brighton. That seemed to go fine.

Isn't it for members and Lions Club members? I may be wrong about that.

If JJ does the hush sign to us when he inevitably scores, I'll stop hankering after him. There are limits to love.

Shame their first leg isn't on Tuesday. I think Dyche is probably under too much pressure to rotate too much.

??

I think (I think) the gag is that Eddie Howe is just Sean Dyche with self-help jargon?

And a packet of Lockets.
And a ‘im constipated’ look on his face

My 15 year old hasn’t realised the delights of the pub yet, so tend to just go straight to the ground most games. I had toyed with the idea of the warehouse tomorrow though and he seemed open to that. However, someone I know, went before the Brighton game and said it was rammed and had ran out of food. Having second thoughts, may just go my local spoons and hop on the train.

It's supposed to be only ST holders - which gets slightly complicated when it is a cup game. Assuming the people on the door can be bothered, they ask to see multiple future tickets in the AVFC app on your phone.

As it is more cosy than a Warehouse (!) and as it is a later KO, I imagine it will be full quite early - assuming a full house or close to full house. UTV
